'WEDNESDAY HOMING,SKrTEMBKR 12 Charge of Judge Rec.sc. < i-rour outside we publish th< re iir.uk -of Judge Augustus Reese, of the Ocmulgee Circuit, to the Grand Jury of Baldwin county, in reference to the relief of the people from the payment of their debts. It is a subject of deep interest and impor tance, and the sound conservative views of Judge Reese possess general interest. Rase Ball Games. There are thirty-eight clubxin Hartford, and one bund red’and seven in other parts of tlui State. Hartford tak-s the 1< ad in numV r. New Haven having seventeen, Bridgeport twelve and N'ew Britain nine. A wag at our elbow suggests that the reason these ciulis are so [xqiuiar with the Yankee ljoys is that they have been prac ticing their base ball games on the South forseveral years. He’.was about to inti mate that they showed great skill in the use of their legs, which is a strong point m the gatne, but we advised him, under ttl the circumstances, not to mention that. The youth evidently need reconstructing. Crop Reports. It is suggested to us by those who wish to buy cotton cheap, that we give too much ifroininencr- to unfavorable reports of the growing crop. On the other hand, grow ers and holders of the staple; think we pub lish Uk> much that is indicative of a large yield. To each of these parties we can on ly say, tliat v,e deem it our duty to give / currency as far as [s.-ible, to the h i.th. We cull from our exchanges and corres pondents the views prevalent in tiieir various localities, and while many of these reports may be far from full or reliable, they are the bestindicesavailable on which to base conclusions, and we zive them for what they are worth. We see nothing thus far to change the opinion all along • held by us that the yield is likely to l>o fully one third of a full crop before Un war. Much still depends upon tiie length of the season—but the weather for the last two months lias certainly been favorable, in the main, to the growth and maturity of the crop. A New Railroad Project. The Charlextod and Columbus papers are urging the importance of a railroad from Station 5, on the Charleston and .Sa vannah Railroad, to thoCcntr.il road at or near Milieu. It is claimed that th- dis tance from Charleston to Millen is only 94 miles. Tho distance from Millen to Sa vannah being VO miles, it places Macon and Columbus us near, within 10 miles, to Charleston us to Savannah. Tho News thinks that if a charter can be had from the State of Georgia of a liberal character, and the Georgia Central Railroad is will ing to place tho Charleston road on n sys tem of equality with their own road, in their freight and passenger charges, the enterprise should he pushed through with out a moment’s delay. The Columbus pa pers urge tho importance of tUc road, as affording them almost equal advantage of two markets, and urge it as especially im portant, in connection with tho road from Opelika to Tuscumbiu. It would be a sort of flank movement on Augusta, but if it helped to wake our peo ple up to the palpable fact that the future of Augusta lies chiefly in manufacturing, its construction might he a benefit to u i. Street Manners and Habits. We are the greatest, wisest, and most ac complished people in tiie world, says the Hartford Times, but one now and then sees exhibitions of taste and virtue in the street that fall an arrow’s head short of perfection. Notwithstanding tho angelic nature of tho fair sex, we now and then notice that they liko to march three or four abreast on tho sidewalk, with their ex panded skirts occupying tiie whole avail able passway for pedestrians. As wo are young and nimble we do not mind a stop off from the curb into the gutter, in order to lot the radiant platoon pass without breaking line, but when we see an aged man tottering under the infirmities of years, compelled to do tho sumo thing, wo nro inclined to doubt the fairness, not of tho ladies’ faces, but of the monopoly of the sidewalk they so persistently claim. There is also a peculiar habit of some of the stonier sox, called men, which is re freshing to notice, as an exhibition of re markable fine taste and decorum. That is, when a lady passes who is compelled to hold up her skirts to avoid the iiltli or wet on tiie pavement, to stop, turn round and examine with deliberation, not tosay anx iety, her lower extremities —make a minute examination of her ankles, and whatever else a tilling hoop may chance to display. Tilting hoops, to lie sure, often display charms to which tiie most cold, blooded may not always be insensible, and when one sees white hose filled with tiie daintiest proportions, and moving with elastic and graceful step, just a few yards ahead, one is perhaps not called upon to cov r his eyes with his hands ; but to de liberately stop and turn round upon a passing woman for flic purpose of inspect ing such a phenomenon, is not in the very best taste. Aii Item for Hullilcrs. A gontleman inform.! the Atlanta In - tellii/enccr that In' personally inspected re cently In the North, anew article of build ing material which is both beautiful and cheap, and is at once within the reach of everybody. It resembles sandstone, but is simply a kind of concrete rock, which has boon used in England for a number of years, and which by practical tests, has proved espial ill durability to rock mould ed in nature's crucible. The process ot manufacture is exceedingly simple, al though based upon scientific prin ciples. The sand, chalk or other mineral substance is intimately mixed with its pro portion of a solution of silicate of soda. This is effected in an ordinary pug mill, and the mixture, which is thus rendered of a plastic consistency, is either pressed into blocks or moulds, or can be rolled in to slabs or forms as may lie desired, and is afterwards cither immersed in orsaturated with a solution of eholoride of calcium, when a double decomposition of the two solutions employed (viz : of the silicate and soda and of the calcium) immediately takes place. The silica combines with the calcium, and at once forms an insoluble silicate of lime, firmly enveloping and cementing together nil the particles of sand, chalk, or other minerals of which tin* stone is composed, whilst at the same time tlic chlorine combines with the soda and forms chloride of sadium or common salt, which is easily removed by subse quent washing. The Street Hail Komi. Wo are pleased to learn that the gentle men interested in the construction of the street railroad have succeeded in arrang ing the few points in issue, with the com mittee appointed by the City Council for that purpose. It is unfortunate for the 1 interest of 'be city that the work has been delayed so long. If these matters of dis agreement could have been satisfactorily arranged throe months since, when the enterprise was first mooted, wo are as sured. that the work would now have been in a very forward state of completion. We believe that the future interests and prosperity of this place depend in a large measure upon the construction of railways through our principal streets. Those of our sister cities which have tried those modern modes of communication and traffic have always secured the most en couraging results. Even in tl*> narrow crowded streets of the Northern and East ern cities they have been found highly beneficial to the public, and have proved to be very lucrative to the stockholders. It is proposed, we believe, by the parties who are interesting themselves in inaugu rating tins enterprise, to run a main line from or near the Cemetery to the toot ot Broad street and thence up that street to or near the canal crossing, and thence to the Arsenal in Summerville. This line with brandies to the Savannah,and the tia. R. R. Depots, ana to Woodlawn and Harrison xilie. will, it is thought, satislv the wants of the people at present. Tlte length ot this line and the contemplated brandies will be about six or seven miles. Thocost of (instruction and necessary outtit will hardly exceed one hundred thousand dol lars. This amount, it is thought, can be easily obtained as sixm as the right of wav is secured from the city authorities. Tlu' present high rates of rentals in the j city will certainly retard the prosperity of ; tne place unless those who are compelled to live in rented buildings can obtain easy access to cheaper lodgings. This the City i Railroad proposes to accomplish, by af- i fording constant, cheap, safe anti comfort- i able communication with the villages of Summerville, Woodlawn and Harrison- I villc, and with the extreme eastern and western portions of the city. The se si-,.,.! cars, running every m minutes between I the points mentioned, will enable the ' business man, the mauntacturer, tij ü boritig man, and the mechanic to secure comfortable homes at a cheap rate m healtliy and salubrious situations ; while, at the same time, they will l»e convenient to tiieir places of business or occupation. In tliis view the street railway becomes a necessity of tlio time’s, and wo wish it projiouurs God speed in the good work. Raleigh", N. C., is troubled with garro ters.

In the evening session, Hamilton protested against the mode by which the border States had over slaughed Southern Unionists, and said the minority report of the committee favoring negro suffrage should be presented to-nior row. The Convention has virtually split on the negro suffrage question. The border States delegation, after the adoption of the address and resolutions this morn ing desired to adjourn sine die. But this was strongly opposed by Southern men, and finally it was agreed that the minority should make their report to-mor row in favor of negro suffrage, and that it be taken as a part of the regular proceed ings of the Convention. It is probable the border States will take no part m the Convention t o-morrow. The Disunion Pow Wow. Philadelphia, September 7.—An Ex citing debate occurred in the Radical Con vention to-day on the address reported by the cuinuiittfre on reconstructed States. A scene of the wildest excitement ensued, showing that the reconstructed delegates were more bitter and antagonistic than be fore the border States retired. Many of the Conveutiou left this morning, leaving the body almost entirely in the hands of friends of negro suffrage. The committee on address were almost unanmous against negro suffrage, whilst that on resolutions stood ten in opposition to five in favor, the delegatus who were in favor of negro suffrage were invited to step to the Secretary's desk, and sign what was called the Charter of Universal Freedom. Resolutions were offered and adopted in favor of subscriptions for the publication of the proceedings of sympathy for Dostic of New Orleans, of thanks to loyal citizens of Philadelphia, and for 'the presentation of expensively hound volumes of the pro ceedings of ihe Convention to Anna Dick inson, Fred. Douglas and Theo. Tilton. After some other proceedings, the Conven tion adjourned sine die.

I j have no eulogy to pronounce; that has ! been done better than I could do it. Some j men may wear the civic wreath which the i nation weaves for those who serve their j country in lofty positions, or their names may be engrafted upon the imperishable records of national glory. This column is reared to the memory of the legislator and the representative man. A consciousness of duty performed was his while living, and his reward will be the inscription of his name high on the cenotaph erected by a grateful nation to commemorate the ser vices of those who lived and toiled for their people and the Union of the States. [lm mense applause.] Fellow-citizens, I be lieve in my heart that if we could commu nicate with the dead, and cause them to know what was transpiring on earth—were it possible for Stephen A.

A Brilliant anil Life-Like Pen-Picture. They mistook their own indignant feel ings for emotions of piety; encouraged iu themselves by reading and meditation, a disposition to brood over their wrongs, and, when they had worked themselves up into hating their enemies, imagined they were only hating the enemies of Heaven. __ In the New Testament there was little indeed which, even perverted by the most dis in genious exposition, could seem to counten ance the indulgence of malevolent passions. But the Old Testament contained the history of a race selected by God to be wit nesses of his unity and ministers of his vengeance, and specially commanded by him to do many things which, if done without his special command, would have been atrocious. In such a history it was not difficult for fierce and gloomy spirits to find much that might be restored to suit their wishes. The extreme Puritans, therefore, began to feel for the Old Testa ment in preference which, perhaps, they did not distinctly avow even to themselves hut which showed itself in all their senti ments and habits. They paid the Hebrew language a respect which they refused to that tongue in which the discourses of Jesus and the epistles of Paul have come down to us. They baptized their children by the names, not of Christian saints, but of Hebrew patriarchs and -warriors. In defiance of the express and reiterated declarations of Luther and Calvin, they turned the weekly festival by which the church had, from the primitive times," commemmorated the resurrection of the Lord, in a Jewish Sabbath. They sought for principles of jurisprudence in the Mosaic law, and for the precedents to guide their ordinary conduct in the book of Judges and Kings. Their thoughts and discourses run much on acts which were assuredly not recorded as examples for our imitation. The prophet, who hewed in pieces a captive Icing, the rebel general who gave the blood of a queen to the dogs, the matron, who, in defiance of plighted faith and of the laws of eastern hospitality, drove the nail into the brain of the fugi tive ally who had just fed at her board, and who was sleeping under the shadow of her tent —wore proposed as models to Christians suffering under the tyranny of princes arid prelates. Morals and manners were subjected to a code resembling that of the synagogue when the synagogue was in its worst state. The dress, the language, the deportment, the studies, the amusements of the rigid sect were regulated on principles resem bling those of the Pharisees, who, proud of their washed hands and broad phylacteries, taunted the Redeemer as a Sabbath break er and wine-biber. It was a. sin to. hang garlands on a May-pole, to drink a friend’s healths to fly a hawk, to hunt a stag, to play ;it chess, to wear lovelocks, to put starch into a ruff, to touch the virgins, to read the Fairy Queen. Rules such as these —rules which would have appeared insupportable to the free and joyou, spirit of Luther, and contemptible t.o the serene and philosophical intellect of Zungle, threw over all life a more than monastic gloom. The learning and eloquence by which the great Reformers had been eminently distinguished, and to which they had been, in no small measure, indebted for their, success, were regarded by the new school of Protestants with suspicion, if not with aversion. Some precisians scrupled about teaching the Latin grammar, because the names of Mars, Bacchus and Apollo oc curred in it. The fine arts were all about prescribed. The solemn peal of the organ was superstitious. The light music of Ben. Johnson’s masks was dissolute. Half the fine paintings in England were idola trous, and the other half indecent. The Puritan was at once known by his gait, his garb, his lank air, the sour so lemnity of his face, the upturned white of his eyes, the nasal twang with which lie spoke, and above all, his peculiar dialect, lie employed, on every occasion, the im agery and style of scripture. Hebraisms violently introduced into the English lan guage, and metaphors borrowed from the boldest lyric poetry of a remote age and country, and applied to the common con cerns of English life, were the most strik ing peculiarities of this cant, which moved, not without cause, the derision both of prelatists and libertines. A Great Shower of Meteors Expected. Next in grandeur and sublimity to a total solar eclipse, or a great comet stretched athwart the starry heavens, is the great meteoric shower, such as was witnessed here in November, 1833. On this occasion, from two o’clock till broad dayylight. the sky being perfectly serene and cloudless, the whole heavens were lighted with a magnificent and imposing display of celestial fireworks. Arago com putes that not less than two hundred and forty thousands meteors were visible above the horizon of Boston on the morning of the 13th of November. 1833. This. display was seen all over North America. A similar display was seen by Humboldt, at Cumana, South America, in 1792. A comparison of the epochs of the appear ance of these great showers lias led to the discovery that they arc periodic; their returns being separated from each other by a third part of a century, or some mul tiple of this period, and are periodical ap pearances of one grand meteoric shower. Professor Newton, of Yale College, who has devoted much time to the investiga tion of the periodic, character of these showers, finds that a prodigious flight of meteors, the most imposing of its kind, will make its appearance, probably for the last time in this century, on the morning of the 13th or 14th of November next. Only thirteen of these great showers are recorded between the years 903 and 1833. Such a rare phenomenon awakens a deep interest among all classes of persons. Pre parations to observe this sublime spectacle, lor scientific purposes, have already commenced in Europe. Let no one forget Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Our merchants are well supplied ‘ with goods, and will, we believe, give as <'Ood bargains as can be obtained else- j where. This section has been visited with heavy rains during the week, and reports I reach ns of damage to cotton from rust, but we cannot learn that any serious injury ; lias yet been sustained. Reports from the neighboring counties are quite contradic- but from the best information at hand we believe the yield of cotton in the dis trict contiguous to Augusta will be better j than was apprehended earlier in the sea son, and will reach an average of nearly j half the old crop. Should the rainy wea- j iher continue, however, a very few- days j mav make a material difference in the ! erop. W-e find very little change in any lead ing articles of merchandise. Bacon is quiet, and a few sales have been made at. : prices slightly below our quotations, but the firm and advancing tone of the West- j ern markets lias prevented any general.de- i dine here. Flour is dull and unchanged. Our mills supply, the local trade with flour . of excellent quality, and at prices leaving no margin for the better grades of Western. They continue also to fill orders for the Savannah and Charleston markets. Corn and meal are both a shade lower on the week, and are inactive. FINANCIAL.—The scarcity of money continues; and loans cannot be effected on the best paper at less than 11 to 2 $ cent, a month. Hence there is little demand for miscellaneous stocks or government se curities. Gold has followed the decline-in New York, which is 2to 3 cent, on tho week, and closed this morning at 143. This decline is ascribed to a variety of causes, the chief of which are the abun dance of cheap exchange in New York, the additional shipments of gold from the other side, and a heavy arrival of gold from California. The still further reduction of the rate of interest by the Bank of England to C cent, lias also had some effect. Our brokers are paying 143 for gold, and selling at 144. Silver, Bto 10 cents lower.

Charleston Commercial tear. A summary statement of the exports of cotton during the commercial vear just closed contrasts very unfavorably* with any year lor the past twenty-five. ‘ When we however, take into consideration all the causes that have operated against our mar ket during the past year, we may, never theless, congratulate ourselves upon the result. The late war had not • .u, ruined our banking institutions and "prostrated our mercantile and planting interests but had destroyed our lines of railroad requir ing months of labor and a large ex pendi ture of capital to repair. To these heavv disasters must be added the monetary- cri sis of last spring, and the recent < v.,.,-| ueu j tal war, both of which causes op* rated very materially against foreign shipments. The bulk us Liu receipts of cotton was ,ui( rj fr from our rxiri by the non-completionof the South Carolina Railroad, and the cit-' of Savannah reaped thy advantages pfonr delay and inactivity, and therein-- secured fa rich harvest, NotwiUlstaudingihe.se combined adverse j circumstances, our tables of exports show en.ling August 31, 1866, 5:3,807 bales of cotton (valued at ?6,797,i>72) were exported to foreign ports, and 54,117 bales (valued at $7,625,388) were shipped coastwise, making an aggregate of 107,954 bnies, valued at $16,423,080. The probable estimate of the growing crop of cotton are as vague and indefinite as are the various opinions expressed bv the prophetic ? i statistics North and South. These embrace a range of figures running from 750,000 to 3,000,000 bales. We shall probably take another opportunitv to give our opinion on the subject. Reports from all sections are contradictory, and a late or an early frost, favorable or unfavorable weather, will change the present aspect and materially affect tire result. We shall be pleased to chronicle a crop of one mil lion bales, and still more happy to swell it to two millions. The prospect of the growing crop in our own State is not very encouraging. Many plantations are uncultivated from the want of capital—complaints come from many quarters of poor stands and unfavorable weather—while in some districts we under stand that the freed men are not working with their wonted steadiness and activity. This is disheartening intelligence, but we are, nevertheless, hopeful, as we have an abiding faith in “a Special Providence,’' and look forward to a late frost and more auspicious weather to bless the toil of the planter. The commercial transactions for the month of August have been very light, particularly in the export trade, and we note, as a remarkable circumstance, the fact that during the entire month not a single bale of cotton has been exported to foreign ports, although several hundred bales are on shipboard for foreign ship ment. The business of the month of August is summed up in the following figures: Receipts from Customs 837,460 49 Dutiable value of imports 53,642 00 Dutiable value of mdz. warehou'd 19,762 oo Exports cotton foreign none.

(Liverpool Market. From Watts &. Co’3 Weekly Report. Liverpool, August 17.— Cotton The sales of the week sum up 85,220 bales, of which 57,230 were taken by the trade, 29,200 declared for export, and 3,790 on speculation. Included in the sales were 20,400 American, of which 23,130 were taken by the trade, 4,41*0 declared for ex port, and 1,780 on speculation. If to the 57,230 bales taken by the trade (as above) we add the actual export, say 26,322, it shows 83,552 bales taken for consumption during the week, whereas the average of the past six weeks has been 70,455 bales, and for the thirty-three weeks of the pre sent year 61,823 bales. Owing to the inter ruption to trade by the late war, the Conti nent is believed to be very baro of stock, and should trade not again be interrupted, the export demand for the remainder of this year will, no doubt, average week considerably more than since Ist January last; and there seems every reason to sup pose that the home trade demand will be fully maintained and perhaps increased. The stock now stands at 882,340 bales ( a decrease on last week of 16,160), against 470,590 last year, an increase of 411,750. Re ducing the "China piculs to half bales, the cotton at sea sums up 522,500 bales, against 379,000 last year, an increase of 143,500. which, added to the increase in stock, makes Hie total apparent excess, as com pared with last year, 555,250 against 041,760 as per our report last week. The total ap parent supply (here and at sea) is now 1,404,840 bales, or 116,660 loss than last week. This is more than taken tor con sumption during the week. The discrep ancy is explained by the loss at sea of some 15,000 bales on the way here from India, and some errors in previous lists of cargoes alloat. Referring to American, our present table shows a stock of 343,000 bales, against 20,- 700 last year. The present stock is, how ever, 18,740 bales less than last week, and the quantity at sea is reduced from 23,001 to 20,000, showing a decrease iu the appar ent supply during the week of 21,740 bales. Seven weeks ago (15th J une) the supply here and at sea was 530,790 bales, or 16T,liK) more than at present. At Manchester, the Continental advices and the reduction ill the bank rate have strengthened prices. For the home trade and the Continent, as well as for India and other distant markets, there is a fair de mand, but business lias been somewhat checked by the advance prices demanded. Now that the tide in the money market has changed, a gradual reduction in the rate to about its normal point is generally looked for. The weather has, however, for the past week or two, been very unfavor able for the grain crop, and should it con tinue so for a few weeks longer, it will have a marked influence on the course of tho money market. The following are tho quotations for American cotton to-day: Ordinal y.

Savannah, Sept. s.— Cotton —The drag in the New York market for the past week has had its effect here, and about 400 bales have been sold during the week under re view at a concession of one half to one cent on the quotations of last week. Yesterday a more active inquiry existed, though we hoar of no (sales at higher figures than stated above. The utter irregularity of the market, and the very small stock of offering of desira ble lots, render it almost impossible to give a correct review of tho cotton market, and we would merely estate that, based on ac tual sales, middlings (Liverpool classifica tion) may bo quoted at 29 to 29)0, though as a general rule held at 30c. It may be added that, in die opinion of many, the market here lias settled down to these figures, though we cannot look for any activity until the new crop comes to market and mqny regular buyers now ab sent return to the city. In regard to the crop we have less en couraging accounts, Owing to the very different opinions advanced from different sections, it is, however, almost impossible to arrive at any conclusion other than that the season has, on the whole, been unijvor able; and to tills, quite asmueh as the pew labor system, may be attributed a short yield.
